Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP73928) and 5 other sources
In the late summer of 2020, Chris Howard Condos, a 53-year-old man, embarked on a journey that would leave his family searching for answers. He departed from Teller County, Colorado, and his last confirmed location was in Mesquite, Nevada, on August 10, 2020. Since that day, there has been no communication from him, and his whereabouts remain a profound mystery. His family, left without any contact, reported him missing, prompting investigations by both the Mesquite Police Department in Nevada and the Teller County Sheriff's Office in Colorado. The lack of information surrounding his disappearance has been a source of ongoing distress for his loved ones.

At the time he went missing, Chris was described as a white male, standing between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 9 inches tall, and weighing between 200 and 220 pounds. He had graying hair and blue eyes. A distinguishing feature noted by authorities were surgical scars on one of his forearms and wrist. It is believed he was traveling in a very specific vehicle, a blue and white 1993 Ford Econoline E350 van. This 15-passenger van was a former church vehicle and bore the faint lettering of 'Journey Quest.org' on its side. The van had a Colorado license plate with the number BEHG14.

The circumstances leading up to Chris's last known appearance in Mesquite and his reasons for traveling there have not been publicly detailed, leaving a void of information for those trying to piece together the timeline of his disappearance. The case is a poignant reminder of the hundreds of individuals who go missing each year, leaving behind families caught in a state of unknowing. The investigation into Chris Condos's disappearance remains open, with law enforcement in two states continuing to seek any information that could shed light on what happened to him after he was last seen. The primary focus of the investigation revolves around locating Chris and his distinctive van, hoping that one will lead to the other and finally provide the answers his family so desperately needs.
